See More +Jordan and the World Bank have been partners in development for nearly 35 years. Over this period, successive Jordanian governments have transformed Jordan's economy into one of the most open, dynamic and socially advanced in the Middle East. Today, the people of Jordan are poised to seize the new opportunities and meet the new challenges presented by rapid integration into the global economy, with the support of the World Bank and other development institutions. This booklet is not a typical World Bank report. It is intended to give the general reader a non-technical overview of Jordan's past record of success in providing broad-based social and economic progress for its people. It also describes the wide-ranging nature of the current partnership between Jordan and the World Bank-a partnership designed to promote private sector-led growth and employment creation, productive and environmentally responsible expansion of the physical infrastructure needed to support growth, and social investments in education and health care that will help reduce poverty, enhance opportunity, and further strengthen Jordan's greatest single asset, its human capital base. The Jordanian authorities are determined to build on yesterday's and today's firm developmental foundations to help create a still brighter tomorrow for all the citizens of Jordan. We in the Bank are fully committed to doing all we can to help make that brighter tomorrow a reality.
